The rich history of the Village
of Dunlop, East Ayrshire Scotland...a
town
that centered on the "muddy fort"
Little is known about Strathclyde, but Dalriada was expanded to the now
Scottish soil by the banished Irish King Colla da Crioch in 327 AD. The
350 Irish clans who came with him were called "Scoti"
, which translates as "plunderers",
or "bandits".
The Dalriadians established themselves in the Ayrshire district circa
490's AD. They called themselves "Gaels"
but were
always referred to as "Scots",
from the Milesian story
of Scotia, mother of the Irish.

Gaelic
word "dun" which means "a fort or strong place" (all Iron Age
fortresses in this language were called "Duns", ie: Dun Aidenn,
Dunadd, Dumbarton, Dunbar, Dunkelt, etc). The derivation of the second
part is uncertain, but may derive from the Gaelic word
"luib",(pronounced "labh") meaning "the winding or bending." We know
that the Brythonic Celts who occupied this area gave the name Dun Lop
("Fort" at the Bend) to the stronghold built on a hill around which the
"burn" or stream called the Glazert winds. To this day that rise is
known as Dunlop Hill. The family from which we all descend took their
(our) name from this Celtic landmark.
